The Wallabies and All Blacks fought it out in the early hours of Sunday morning in the final of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The All Blacks looked the more damaging team early on and after 40 minutes the scoreline stood at 16-3.
Early in the second half that scoreline would be increased to 18 points, before a yellow card would give the Wallabies some hope as David Pocock and Tevita Kuridrani both scored tries to reduce the lead to four points inside the final 20 minutes.
The increased Australian pressure would not prove more than the All Blacks could handle though, as eventual man of the match, Dan Carter, kicked true to give his side a handy buffer, before Beauden Barrett secured the 34-17 win with a try in the 79th minute.
